Omega fats are unsaturated fats that are not only good for you, but they're essential for your health. Your
body cannot create these fats, so you must get them totally from your diet. Omega fats are helpful for many
reasons, plus they are necessary for normal cell growth and development.
First, Omega fats are an excellent appetite suppressant. Part of the reason why people binge on "fat-free"
foods is because fat is what makes your stomach "feel full." If you aren't eating any fat in your meal, your
stomach never tells your brain that you're full. Add a little good fat to your meal, and you'll feel full with
less food.
Eating Omega fats helps your body to unlock stored fat so that you can use it for energy. Omega fat
balances your body's ratio of insulin to glucagon. When you eat sugary foods, your body releases insulin
to remove the excess sugar from your system. If you do this too often, the insulin will block the hormone
glucagon - which is another hormone that functions to help your body burn fat. Too much sugar = too much
insulin = not enough glucagon = little fat burning. Plus, you are at risk for diabetes. Omega fats help to
balance this ratio.
Omega fats help to boost your body's metabolic rate. This also helps you to burn more calories. Omega
fats are the building blocks of your cells. Your cell membranes consist of Omega fats. Since they cannot be
created by the body, you must get them from your diet.
A specific fat, Omega 3 Fatty Acid, is obtained from flax seeds or flax seed oil. This will be the primary
fat that we'll add to our meals. You can use it on salads and in breads, add it to soups and yogurt. Don't
cook with it, however, as the heat will change it's chemical properties. You will also find good doses of
Omega 3 in most seafood, green leavy vegetables, fatty fish (salmon, tuna, trout, mackerel), walnuts, olive,
and canola oil.
Have fish for dinner at least twice a week – and I don’t mean your beer-battered, fried haddock that the
local pub serves on Fridays. Pick a fish like salmon, tuna, or mackerel. Bake or grill them – don’t fry them.
They have very high concentrations of Omega 3 fatty acids in them. Add flax oil to your salads instead of
fatty dressings. Snack on walnuts or almonds instead of cookies and chocolate. You will feel full sooner,
and you’ll be adding essential fatty acids to your diet to help burn calories!
Do not deprive us of the beautiful comments.
